Christmas Rappin' - Kurtis Blow (柯蒂斯·布楼)[00:00:00]
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house[00:00:00]
Hold it now Wait hold it That's played out Hit it [00:00:03]
Don't you give me all that jive about things you wrote before I's alive[00:00:11]
Cause this ain't 1823 ain't even 1970[00:00:16]
Now I'm the guy named Kurtis Blow and Christmas is one thing I know[00:00:20]
So every year just about this time I celebrate it with a rhyme[00:00:24]
Gonna shake it gonna bake it gonna make it good[00:00:33]
Gonna rock shock clock it through your neighbourhood[00:00:35]
Gonna read gonna sing it till it's understood[00:00:37]
My rappin' bout to happen like a knee you've been slapping[00:00:39]
Or a toe you've been tapping on a hunk of wood[00:00:41]
Bout a red-suited dude with a friendly attitude[00:00:46]
And a sleigh full of goodies for for the people on the block[00:00:47]
Got a long white beard maybe looks kind a weird[00:00:50]
And if you ever see him he could give you quite a shock[00:00:52]
Now people let me tell ya bout last year[00:00:59]
When the dude came flying over here[00:01:01]
Well the hog was out snow's on the ground[00:01:02]
Folks stayed in to party down[00:01:05]
The beat was thumping on the box and I was dancing in my socks[00:01:07]
And the drummer played at a solid pace[00:01:11]
And a taste of the bass was in my face[00:01:16]
And the guitar player layed down a heavy layer[00:01:22]
Of the funky junky rhythm of the disco beat[00:01:24]
And the guy with the 88's started to participate[00:01:31]
And I could sure appreciate a sound so sweat[00:01:33]
We were all in the mood so we had a little food[00:01:40]
And a joke and a smoke and a little bit of wine[00:01:42]
When I thought I heard a hoof on the top of the roof[00:01:44]
Could it be or was it me I was feeling super fine[00:01:46]
So I went to your attic where I thought heard the static[00:01:48]
On the chance that the prance was somebody breaking in[00:01:50]
But the noise on the top was a reindeer clop[00:01:52]
Just a trick St Nick and I let the sucker in[00:01:54]
He was roly he was poly and I said "Holy moly [00:02:06]
You got a lot of whiskers on your chinny chin chin"[00:02:08]
He allowed he was proud of the hairy little crowd[00:02:10]
On the point of his jaw where the skin should've been[00:02:12]
Gets cool for a fool going out every Yule[00:02:14]
For a day on a sleigh when the cold went low[00:02:16]
So the beard may be weird but I'll never have it sheared[00:02:18]
Cause it's warm in the storm when it's ten below[00:02:20]
I said "You're right it's cold tonight[00:02:27]
But can you stop for a drop before you go "[00:02:29]
He said "Why not if the music's hot [00:02:31]
And I'll chance a dance beneath the mistletoe"[00:02:33]
So he went downstairs and forgot his guests[00:02:35]
And he rocked the spot and danced like a pro[00:02:37]
And every young girl tried to rock his world[00:02:40]
But he boogie oogie oogied til he had to go[00:02:42]
And before he went this fine old gent[00:02:48]
Brought a gift with a sift through his big red bags[00:02:50]
In the top or the bottom he reached in and got 'em[00:02:52]
Toys for the boys for the girls glad rags[00:02:55]
And the grownups got some presents too[00:03:01]
A new TV and a stereo[00:03:03]
A new Seville bout as blue as the sky[00:03:05]
The best that money couldn't buy[00:03:07]
Cause money could never ever buy the feeling[00:03:10]
The one that comes from not concealing[00:03:12]
The way you you feel about your friends[00:03:14]
And this is how the story ends[00:03:16]
The dude in red's back at the Pole[00:03:23]
Up north where everything is cold[00:03:25]
But if he were right here tonight[00:03:27]
He'd say Merry Christmas and to all a good night[00:03:29]
